Jamie Oliver shared a sweet photo of Buddy on his birthday

Jamie and his wife Jools share an incredibly close bond with their children, and are always giving fans a glimpse into their family life.

Just last week Jools shared a personal message with her followers, alongside a sweet black-and-white photo of sons Buddy and River.

Keeping the message cryptic, the children's designer touched upon the period being "emotional" and "exhausting".

Jools shared this precious snap of her sons

She wrote: "A week so far of many emotional and exhausting 'firsts' all leaving me a little floored but extremely grateful x. One of my favourite captures from this week Buds helping River with his first school tie [heart emoji] xxx."

The sweet image showed Buddy helping his little brother, River, put on his tie ahead of school. It seems like it's been a busy time for the Oliver household with the launch of Jamie's latest book, Together, and with their children returning to school or university – and her fans sympathised.

"Taking my eldest to uni next week. I'm an emotional wreck already," remarked one follower, to which Jools replied: "Me too [heart emoji]."
